Winter Prey (Lucas Davenport, #5)

Winter Prey (Lucas Davenport, #5)

John Sandford

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

"Winter Prey" is a John Sandford suspense masterpiece!  Following the international success of "Shadow Prey" and "Silent Prey," he creates another heart-pounding chapter in the career of Lucas Davenport, the brilliant, hard-bitten detective from the Twin Cities. The Iceman is Lucas Davenport's most determined foe - a serial killer driven to cover his brutal tracks with blood.  Sandford again creates almost unbearable suspense as we wait for the Iceman's razor-sharp corn knife to strike again. "Winter Prey" unfolds in the cold and driving snow of the north country. The wilds of rural Wisconsin are the perfect setting for the chilling terror caused by the Iceman, a killer who knows Lucas' every move - a coldly brilliant madman who can't be stopped.  Turn up the heat and listen as Lucas Davenport faces his most dangerous challenge. Librarian's note: the first five books in the Lucas Davenport series are #1, Rules of Prey, 1989; #2, Shadow Prey, 1990; #3, Eyes of Prey, 1991; #4, Silent Prey, 1992; and #5, Winter Prey, 1993.

    I read this book for the first time when I was probably way too young to be reading something like this. I was, like, 11 or 12 maybe. It was my first crime novel that I'd ever read, and also one of the first adult novels that I'd read, and I fell in love with it. This book is the only reason I wanted to own the entire series.

    With this being the second time reading it, I'd expected to have different feelings about it. Despite loving the previous books, I had convinced myself that there was no way I was remembering it correctly and that it was actually as good as I remember it being.

    I was wrong, and I'm so glad I was. I loved this book just as much, if not more, than I did the first time I read it. This was intense from the very beginning. I loved the pacing and I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other. Everything about this book was just as amazing as I remembered it being and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
